The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.
Chapter 14 Clams
After a day and a half of work, the house was almost repaired. After breakfast the next morning, the Chen father and son went back to their fields to work.
When the two came in the morning, they brought vegetables, fruits and melons grown at home, as well as a small jar of pickled cabbage.
They also changed their views on Jiang Shian. They originally thought he was a spoiled young master who had never touched women's daily life, but he turned out to be polite, knowledgeable, and his cooking was no worse than that of a restaurant. Whoever marries such a boy would be so lucky.
The wounds on Ji Yinghuai's body had begun to scab over, and he no longer needed a stick to walk. It was estimated that he would be mostly healed in a few days. However, every time Jiang Shian asked him if he had remembered his past memories, the man always hesitated.
Jiang Shian has been busy with household chores these past two days and hasn't even gotten familiar with the village yet.
As he had nothing else to do in the afternoon, he picked up his bamboo basket and planned to go for a walk in the nearby mountains.
The Chinese toon that Aunt Huang sent yesterday tasted very good. Now is the season when wild vegetables grow in the fields, so he also dug some to cook.
When Aunt Huang's rich boy heard that he wanted to go around, he nodded and said he would lead the way. He also went back to get a backpack and went up the mountain to cut grass for the chickens.
Jiang Shian packed his things and was about to go out. Ji Yinghuai looked at his underwear which obviously didn't fit him and stopped walking out. After watching the two people walk away, he returned to the yard with a little disappointment.
Many people in the village knew that besides Jiang Shian, there was another relative living here. If he went out wearing this outfit again, who knows what gossip would spread, which would ruin the young man's reputation.
The countryside has many mountains and rivers, and people live by the mountains and the water.
Huang Fugui pointed to Jiang Shian as they walked, "We usually don't dare to go to the highest and largest mountain. The villagers said there are ferocious beasts there. Previously, a hunter went into the mountain to hunt and was bitten by a wolf. He is still limping now."
Jiang Shian nodded and looked in the direction he pointed. It was indeed very high, with rolling mountains.
"Although the other two hills are small, there are a lot of things inside. Except for the deep part that cannot be reached, there are many wild fruits and vegetables on the outer edge." Huang Fugui pointed to two small hills in the distance.
This is the mountain they go to most often, and if they are lucky they can occasionally catch a few rabbits and pheasants.
After that, he pointed to another hill in the distance ahead of the river. "There are a lot of herbs on that hill. After the busy farming season is over, the villagers will go to the hill to dig herbs. Just go to Grandpa Wang and get one, dig it according to the instructions, and you can even sell it for money!"
When An Shi heard the word "herb ginger", an idea came to his mind. When he was in the orphanage, there were some simple herbs planted in a field behind the orphanage. As the oldest child in the orphanage, the director asked him to take care of the garden. He knew some of the most basic herbs.
He could also temporarily dig some herbs and sell them to save the money, at least to save some capital before doing other things.
There are so many snacks and delicacies in modern times. Although the ingredients were limited in ancient times, the dishes they made were more innovative.
The two walked around the fields around the village. Jiang Shian looked at the green rice in the fields and squatted down to fiddle with it a few times.
On the way, they met many people working in the fields. When they saw Jiang Shian, they subconsciously stopped what they were doing and took a few glances at him.
She looks so fair, tender and lively, no wonder people say the county town is a good place to raise people. If someone in the village tells this, not only will she be proud, but the baby she will give birth to will also be good-looking.
"Oh, it's Shi An. You finally go out today. You've been in the village for two or three days, and we haven't even seen you."
"That's right. You are used to it now, right? If you need anything, you can tell the villagers. Everyone who can help will help. We have heard about what happened in your family. You are still young, and you will be fine."
"Well, I've been busy renovating the house recently! Thank you, auntie." Jiang Shian replied politely.
An aunt looked him up and down, put down her hoe, and said with a smile: "You look about seventeen or eighteen years old now, have you got engaged? If not, you should choose carefully, there are many handsome boys in our village!"
Jiang Shian nodded perfunctorily. It turned out that no matter where you are, having neighbors who love to gossip and pry is scary.
Being asked all kinds of questions by everyone, Jiang Shian was extremely glad that he brought Huang Fugui with him today. This little guy was smart and he could at least tell him who he was in the village, and he could also call him politely.
He stretched out his fingers and tugged at the hem of Huang Fugui's clothes beside him.
The boy was smart. He pulled Jiang Shian's hand and walked forward, saying, "We've seen enough of this. Brother Shian, let me take you fishing. There are small fish in the river these days."
"Well, okay. Then we'll leave first, you go on with your work." Jiang Shian let out a long breath and quickened his pace.
The aunt seemed a little unhappy about being suddenly interrupted. She hummed a few times and turned around to go back to her work in the fields.
After they walked away, Jiang Shian patted the boy's head and praised him, "You are really smart."
Huang Fugui chuckled twice, patted his round belly, pouted and said, "That aunt just now is a famous gossiper in the village. I don't like her either. She always calls me a little fat boy and says that I will never get a wife in the future."
"It's okay. Being a little fatter is more cute. Besides, you're still young. You'll lose weight in a few years. And there's an old saying that goes, 'A fat person brings great fortune.'"
Seeing the half of his belly exposed was white and tender, Jiang Shian couldn't help but reach out and pat it twice. It felt soft and nice.
Wang Fugui was a little embarrassed by his actions, and his face turned red. "Brother Shi An is still the best. I love listening to you talk."
Then the two of them went to the river in the distance. The water was clear and the bottom was visible. It didn't look deep. There were many round pebbles around, and moss grew on them.
Jiang Shian didn't pay attention to his feet and almost slipped.
Steadying himself, he patted his chest, squatted down and picked up the round stone that almost made him slip.
"Clam!" He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the shell-like thing under the stone.
Now it is mid-February and it is the season for eating fat clams, but I didn’t expect that they were also available in ancient times.
This thing is the same as clams, but the color is slightly different. Clam rice noodles are one of his roommates' favorite dishes.
In modern times, this thing grows in the sea, but I didn’t expect it to grow on the riverside in ancient times.
Huang Fugui also came over to take a look, but lost interest when he saw what it was. Small fish and shrimps still have meat on them, but there is only a shell and they cannot be eaten.
However, when he saw Jiang Shian actually lowering his head to search under the surrounding stones, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Shian, what are you doing with this? It's not edible."
Jiang Shian kept moving his hands, and shook his head when he heard it: "It's edible, but you didn't do it right. Let it spit out the sand, and the shell will open. There is still meat inside, and it tastes delicious."
"Ah!" Huang Fugui opened his mouth in surprise and hurried over to take a closer look. The shell of this thing could be opened and there was meat inside. He thought it was just a round ball.
Jiang Shian was amused by his stupid look and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, I'll make it for you to try tonight. How about coming to Brother Shian's house for a meal?"
Wang Fugui had an expectant look on his face, but he was also a little hesitant. He always went to Brother Shi An's house when he had nothing to do, and he had already eaten a lot, so he felt a little embarrassed to go there again for a free meal.
Country people believe in giving and taking. Seeing the troubled expression on his face, Jiang Shian knew what he was thinking. "Of course, the prerequisite for free meals is that you have to help me find them. Let's make more and give some to your parents to try."
"Okay." Huang Fugui felt relieved as soon as he heard it, and rolled up his sleeves, full of energy.
If this can be eaten, it is at least meat. He can also pick some back and ask his parents to cook it.
In addition to clams, a few small fish swim in the river from time to time.
Considering his current status, Jiang Shian couldn't just take off his shoes and socks and go into the river.
Huang Fugui still remembered what he said yesterday about catching fish for Jiang Shi'an to nourish his body. Seeing that there were already quite a few clams in the bamboo basket, he rolled up his trousers and went into the water.
Today the sun was strong and the river water was not cold. Besides helping out in the fields, they also went down to the river to fish to supplement their family income. Therefore, they were quite familiar with fishing.
Jiang Shian was watching with great interest. Although the boy looked fat, he was surprisingly quite agile.
He was watching with great interest when he heard voices talking in the distance. Turning his head, he saw several men about his age, carrying wooden basins in their hands and walking towards the river.
It is not accurate to say that he is a boy, because he has the same small, bright red mark between his eyebrows as he does, so he is a boy.
